as a business guy, i have looked at the romney-renne plan -- romney-ryan plan. you do not need a business degree. you just need to know arithmetic. hear me on this. think about it for a moment. governor romney has said he wants to cut taxes for everybody. that means $5 trillion more to the debt. he wants to add what -- beyond what pentagon has met. that is $8 trillion deeper in the hole. how is he going to fix that? he is going to wave a magic wand and he says he will get rid of some tax expenditures. if he eliminates everyone's ability to adapt their mortgage interest on their home, not just rich people but everyone, if he eliminates anyone's ability to give to your church or hospital or university, if he said you cannot pick any credit for all expenses, you can do that for a one and you do not get close to what he is talked about. i know business 101. if you are in the hole, the first thing you stop is stop digging. and part of it as well is what this plan is for the future. we know the present's plan. the president invested in infrastructure and he realizes o

but also governor romney. you know, paul ryan proposes over $5 trillion of cuts. 60% of them come from low-income programs and that includes headstart. that doesn't mean that every dollar going into headstart is efficiently spent. i'm not defending every single dollar in these programs. but the commercial budget office looked at the implications of the budget that romney said he supported, numeous decades out and they found that outside of entitlements and interest on the debt and defense, there's less than 4% of g.d.p. left for all the things you just said. and you and i agree that those things are important. though investments will simply be unaffordable under the kinds of budgets that these guys are espousing, and, in fact, if we're going to have an amply funded government such that we can support a manufacturing sector in the way i think we should, that's going to involve some new revenues. and again, that's a big difference in both sides. >> but in fairness here, given where we are and the investments we
